Ambient Clinical Documentation

Ambient clinical documentation captures the doctor-patient visit, turns it into a chart note, and places it in the electronic health record for clinician review.

Business impact

• After-hours charting time — The Permanente Medical Group deployment across tens of thousands of encounters showed clinicians spending measurably less time charting after hours.

Data requirements

• Doctor-patient conversation (audio) — The system listens to the visit and captures the exchange.
• Visit notes and chart entries (text) — The output is a structured note for the electronic health record.

AI methods and techniques

• Speech capture and transcription — The system listens to the patient-clinician exchange and converts it into text.
• Information structuring — It organizes the conversation into a chart entry.
• Draft generation — It creates a note that can be reviewed and signed by the clinician.
